What is there that we take with us
and what is that we don’t,
who knows if what you’re feeling now
you shall feel forever,
(who knows) what is working out
and what isn’t
in our imagination
and how things did not go
and what things have not come to pass.
It’s a very tough Christmas
it looks empty inside;
on each of your presents
not even a word.
When you’re going through hell
you’re no longer the same,
you hold on a little tighter
to those who are holding you
And yet when all the pain is gone
the sunlight will expose even too much
of whatever is left of us
what is left of us.
Yet, when all this pain is gone
we will still have to count
on whatever is left of us
what is left of us.
What is there that keeps us company
and what is that does not
and just creeped into us
though we didn’t choose it?
What is working,
what is not
in this lottery?
Sometimes you end up paying a higher price
than what you’d deserve for your faults.
It’s a very tough Christmas
barely any lights are on;
on my every present
not even a word.
When you’re going through hell
you’re no longer the same,
you only know how to carry on
the way you are now.
Yet, when this pain is gone
It will be forever in the sunlight
whatever is left of us
what is left of us.
Yet, once this pain is gone we’ll always be able to count
on whatever is left of us
what is left of us
It’s a very tough Christmas
when you’re not into it
and when the Christmas lights
don’t spell out a thing.
After you’ve been through hell
you’re no longer the same
you can only carry on
with all your burdens.
Yet, once this pain is gone
it will be more apparent in the sunlight
whatever is left of us,
what is left of us.
Yet, when all the pain is gone
we could still count on
whatever is left of us
what is left of us.
